Suns-Spurs NBA betting picks Victor Wembanyama rebounds, Digi Mart USA News: The Phoenix Suns are hoping to string together a third consecutive win tonight at Mortgage Matchup Center, though a tall task stands in the way. The San Antonio Spurs, winners of eight straight, visit the desert for Monday night basketball.
Victor Wembanyama headlines one of the hottest NBA teams that will pose plenty of problems for the Suns. Three expert-backed bets people love for tonight are outlined below.
Michael Fiddle of Action Network said his models suggest the number should be closer to 230 or higher. He said the market has not fully caught up to how poor the Phoenix defense is right now.
Fiddle said the Suns’ defensive issues are glaring and that their offensive scheme is tailor-made to avoid Wembanyama and generate three-point looks. He called it a pace-up, perimeter-heavy spot that should sail over the posted total, and he is taking the over at 228.5 points.
FanDuel noted that the San Antonio Spurs have been one of the league’s most balanced teams to open the season, entering Monday with a +10.2 net rating. Their 117.3 offensive rating pairs with a 107.1 defensive rating, a sharp contrast with a Phoenix Suns squad that has allowed 119.8 points per 100 possessions and posted a -6.3 net rating.
That 16.5-point gap in net rating suggests San Antonio is capable of separating from Phoenix, even on the road. The Suns’ defense has struggled to limit efficient scoring, and FanDuel said the Spurs have the two-way profile needed to capitalize.
Peter Dewey of SI.com said Victor Wembanyama is averaging 12.0 rebounds on 22.8 rebound chances per game this season, and he has a great matchup against the Suns on Monday night. Phoenix is dead last in the NBA in rebound percentage and 25th in opponent rebounds per game through the first few weeks of the season.
Dewey noted that the Suns have lost starting center Mark Williams to open the year, and that Khaman Malauch and Oso Ighodaro have not been good enough on the boards. Wembanyama has 12 or more rebounds in five of his 10 games in the 2026-27 season, though he has three games with fewer than 10 rebounds.
Dewey also noted that if the Spurs get up big, Wembanyama could sit quite a bit, as he has played less than 30 minutes in three of his four games this month. Still, Dewey said Wembanyama’s average of well over 20 rebound chances per game gives him an extremely high floor in this market, and he will take him to dominate a Suns team allowing nearly 17 rebounds per game to the center position this season.
